On a more serious note, should links to GitHub repos be Oneboxed? E.g.

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse](https://github.com/discourse/discourse)

I was pretty sure this was the case but GitHub repo URLs aren’t oneboxed.

Except Github provides zero oembed or opengraph tags for repo urls, so it would be a 100% custom oneboxing…

Actually, wait, maybe they are there and I missed it.

Looks like [Github repositories support OpenGraph](https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fdiscourse%2Fonebox).
